One of the out-patient treatment alternatives for clients in Luna Pier struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are certified to dispense specific medications to opioid addicted clients, many that are opioids themselves and are addictive. With low amounts the individual doesn't experience being high and also doesn't have acute cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this sole purpose, but there are a few more options to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to dispense the med, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is about one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that is only be given in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is approximately just under $300 /month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a drug which blocks the effects of opiates. An individual taking this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and costs around $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it's an opiate blocker and is not an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from feeling high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
